This chapel message examines Paul's designation of singleness as a gift and a means of wholeheartedly serving Christ. However, rather than desiring singleness, many single people feel like it is unwanted suffering. While acknowledging the challenges of singleness, this message focuses on the ultimate purpose of the Christian life, which may be best fulfilled by singleness.
